Because Kids are Naïve

 

4/06

 

I’ve outdone Ponce de Lion

I’ve found El Dorado

It’s tranquil and it’s vacant

It is to be “complacent”

To exist and to pursue those things that satisfy you

And determine for yourself, no one else, all that is true

 

Affluence, celebrity, the things they signify

They don’t matter, in the end, my friend, we’re all going to die

There will be no first place, there is no grand prize

Social class only exists in a world of lies

Life is too short, and too tumultuous

To live for the tomorrow that may never come to us

There’s no silver platter

But the money doesn’t matter

As the workers work, the poor all die, and elite keep getting fatter

 

Placidity, that’s the Fountain of Youth

That’s the only aspiration and that’s the only truth

So exhale your stress with an indifferent sigh

Take things as they come because there is no reason why

haha, it's really odd to see how much i've matured in three years. I guess I was an arrogant martyr.
